SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Research BuildBuddy+Bazel issues by inspecting local clones or source history for specified repos.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Ground issues in local code context from repos: bazelbuild/bazel, buildbuddy-io/buildbuddy, buildbuddy-io/buildbuddy-toolchains, buildbuddy-io/buildbuddy-helm.
  • Survey repository state and version hints (e.g., .bazelversion, .bazeliskrc) to determine the best checkout for analysis.
  • Provide structured outputs with repository state, selected refs, and guidance for next steps.

Quick Start

Run the resolve_context.py helper from this skill directory to inventory local clones and Bazel version hints for the affected workspace.

Frequently Asked Questions about ask-buddy

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I root-cause Bazel remote cache or execution failures using local source history?▼

Diagnosing Bazel remote execution issues involves inspecting local clones of Bazel and BuildBuddy repos to survey repository state and version hints. By probing checked-out commits and local context, you produce evidence-based guidance for remote execution failures.

What is the best way to troubleshoot BuildBuddy BES (Build Event Service) issues from source?▼

Troubleshooting BuildBuddy BES issues from source requires inspecting local clones of the buildbuddy-io/buildbuddy repository. Surveying repository state and version hints like .bazelversion files selects the best checkout for producing evidence-based BES guidance.

Can I diagnose BuildBuddy Helm deployment problems using local repository clones?▼

Yes, you can diagnose BuildBuddy Helm deployment problems by inspecting local clones of the buildbuddy-io/buildbuddy-helm repository. Grounding explanations in checked-out commits and local context provides structured outputs with selected refs and next-step guidance.

How do I analyze Bazel toolchain configuration issues from checked-out source commits?▼

Analyzing Bazel toolchain configuration issues from source involves inspecting local clones of the buildbuddy-io/buildbuddy-toolchains repository. Probing repo state, version hints, and environment hints grounds toolchain analysis in actual checked-out commits for reproducible results.

Why does my Bazel client behave differently across versions when using BuildBuddy?▼

Bazel client behavior differences across versions with BuildBuddy can be investigated by surveying repository state and version hints like .bazelversion and .bazeliskrc files. Inspecting local clones of bazelbuild/bazel determines the best checkout for producing evidence-based analysis.

Do I need local clones of Bazel repositories to reproduce BuildBuddy analysis?▼

Yes, local clones of Bazel and BuildBuddy repositories are required for reproducible analysis. Probing repo state, version hints, and environment hints from checked-out commits produces structured outputs with repository state, selected refs, and next-step guidance.
